Another Big Eye problem

[Tripe46]

As harsh as it may sound, if you are unable to provide for the needs of the animal then you shouldn't have it in the first place.

Agreed, if you want to have a frog as a pet save your money until you are able to afford a nice enclosure, then and only then should you get another frog.

What is bad about the enclosure first of all
It has a water bowl,cocofiber vines plants, i would have live plants if i could find some.

It's way too small!

Tree frogs need to climb, and hop around. Even though they are small animals, they do need space to be healthy.

Your vet will explain the procedure if it is a necessary part of the treatment plan.

You do not have the experience to be trying to force feed any animal let alone a frog that is so delicate. Your best bet is to look on craigslist for a new tank that fits the frogs needs. That is what I did, my 30 gallon long cost me $20 and it came with a stand that holds two tanks. Also since you are only 12 you should be talking to your parents about the needs of your frog and do research with them on the proper care for your species, then make a list of the things you need. And ask them if you can do extra chores to make money or for them to buy you the supplies you need. That is what my 12 and 15 year old boys do when they need money for something. Also you should be thinking about getting a frog that is better suited to your skill level. You can buy live plants on-line, I'm pretty sure that Josh's frogs sells a wide variety of live plants with many of them being fairly cheap in price.

Ok, live plants and a new cage isn't gonna get him eating again(I'm gonna try to get those as soon as possible). My frog is skinny and won't eat, he baraly cares to open his eyes when i pick him up. I'm not going to a vet because i'm not dishing out $120 i don't have and it would be easier to by awhole new cage and frogs with that kind of money.
Call me stubborn and newbish but that is the way it is with my parents and me.
All the vets in my area don't even know that much about exotics anyways, all the reviews are "my cat is so healthy or my dog is better now".

dude don't force feed, you're probably stressing him out, make sure you dont have too many crickets in there with him, don't mess with him, pretend like he's not even there, you can even hold off on feeding him for a day. But yeah the most important thing is space, and 5 gallons won't cut it, im sorry but its almost cruel. stress is very important too, you could try covering the tank up so he/she cant see you, keep it on there for a week or two. just remember to change water and mist(no tap or city, unless you have dechlorinator) and throw in a cricket or two every day, but make sure you check to see if the other ones are still in there, in that case don' t put anymore in. Try not to be anywhere near the tank, I know the frog looks asleep when u come up to it, but they can see everything. it's tempting, but don't do it. thats the only additional info i could spare
